Google Calendar will work with or without a Gmail account, according to Google. Users with Gmail accounts have access to features such as adding events to the calendar from e-mails and sending e-mail event invitations. If you also use Microsoft Outlook, Google provides Calendar Sync, which makes it possible to sync both programs. Calendar Sync offers three options: two-way sync, in which Google Calendar and Outlook calendar sync together; one-way syncing of Google Calendar to Outlook's calendar, which adds your Google Calendar events to Outlook; and one-way syncing of Outlook to Google Calendar, which adds your Outlook events to Google Calendar.
